More than a footnote to the Second World War, or a foreword to the
youth-obsessed exhilaration of the Sixties, the Fifties was a
thrilling decade devoted to newness and freshness. The British
people, rebuilding their lives and wardrobes, demanded modern
materials, vibrant patterns and exciting prints inspired by
scientific discoveries and modern art. Despite the influence of
glamorous Paris couture led by Dior, home-grown fashion labels
including Horrockses and the young Queen Elizabeth's couturier
Norman Hartnell had an equally great, if not greater impact on
British style. This book, written by an assistant curator at the
Victoria and Albert Museum, is a fascinating look back to the days
when post-war Britain developed a fresh sense of style.
